LONDON DISAPPOINTMENT
She says missing out on selection for the Brazilian table tennis team at the 2012 Olympic Games in London was the lowest moment of her career. "It was the greatest disappointment of my life, so hard to take. I'd played in the [2012] world championships and I really thought I would make it. I did not watch the London Games on television. I did not want anything to do with the tournament." (swaythlingclub.com, 01 Apr 2021)
